Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Toyo MTs come in a 35x13.50/15. There's a TJ at work with them that looks pretty good. There's definitely something to be said for the grip of a wide tire. But they are harder on steering gear. I've worn out a Tri-County Gear's HD tie rod. Make sure you keep enough offset on your rims so your tire pivots instead of scrubbing during a turn. Also, the wider the tire, the more they'll grad on drainage grooves at highway speeds.

By the way, I notice that YJ has an IF front suspension. I don't think he could do a u-turn in a football field.
